It's always been my formula to get the next picture set up before anyone's seen the last one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.
A really good picture looks as if it's happened at once. It's an immediate image.
The first thing I do when I get up is I look out the window. I've been looking at the same image for six years. It's imprinted in my mind like an afterimage template.
The end of a picture is always an end of a life.
Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.
When people tell you they saw your last picture - well, the way they say it sounds like they hope it was.
I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
Half of me is very excited and the other half is 'Haven't we seen this stuff before?' But I'm very impressed. I almost couldn't picture it when it was being put together. I couldn't picture it being in my hand, what it would look like.
I've always been somebody who, when I started a picture, never knew what the next picture would be.
Once I make a picture, I never look at it again.
